Chas.
Same scenerio on the first page:

It's 2pm. Outside the grocery store. The guy runs and Tackles me on the floor, takes my wallet, got up, and started running.

Am allowed to shoot him?
You might get away with it if you managed to draw and fire while he was in the act of assaulting you, but not while he's retreating.

Besides the implicit misuse of the term "point blank", IMHO drawing against a trigger is tantamount to suicide.
